I learned a lot under 3 minutes then any other tutorials on KZbin combined, can't wait for more tutorials 🙌🙌🙌

[@msb8111]

Hey man, I'm trying to learn compositing in Fusion. But I cannot find any resource aimed for us 3D artists. Can you share some or how you learned the stuff? asking for a friend

[@Pixel.Dystopia]

The lens dirt trick is pure Genius. Fast and precise. Thanks man

[@carn1voor]

Great tutorial!! If i could make a request it would be a more in depth tutorial on lighting and contrast because thus looks next level realistic👏👏👏

[@simonjulian6499]

If I watch this at 10% of its original speed, this is actually a useful tutorial

[@calafuria24]

Nice job, man! You are great. How did you make the snow and the sinking of the boots in the snow? How do you manage lighting? Is that just an HDRI?

[@cinematiccookie]

Thank you. The sinking boots were made with dynanic paint. The boots are set as a brush and the ground as the canvas with the wave settings. I probably will make a tutorial on all the simulation stuff involved in this. The lighting is all the build in sky texture. Just released a tutorial on creating procedural skies. Which is the same technique i used for this shot.

[@calafuria24]

@@cinematiccookie awesome, thanks! Can't wait to watch all the simulation stuff. Keep going mate!

[@ammonsingh]

thank you for this

[@DigitalImageWorksVFX]

Great tutorial, thanks for this! I would add some barrel distortion to simulate distortion of a lens ;)

[@gosalh]

Wow amazing tutorial- thank you!!

[@Artem_Nesh]

Thank's you, it's really helpfull for me right now

[@RySome]

This was short and sweet. Ty

[@cgiproduct9299]

Fantastic!

[@matiasbenavidesdigitalvisu9511]

wow a lot of good info here, please make more postpro exercises in 3D (exr) workflow. Multimatte, alpha channel, lights channels.

[@maybenutt4y]

Awesome tutorial! But I think the Chromatic Aberration should be put behind the Lens Dirt? Because the dirt is on the surface of the lens (outside), the Chromatic Aberration happens when light travels through the lens (inside). So the lens dirt should also have that RGB shifting look irl? I could be wrong but worth checking 🤔

[@cinematiccookie]

Yes, but the lens dirt image i used already has chromatic aberrationon on it. Most lens dirt images already have aberrationon on them, since they are often captured by real cameras.

[@kerhabplays]

Guess what...I asked Gemini the Ai to give me a video based on the topic and this is the first video It recommended me. Imagine recommended by an AI...lmao

[@lanewallace.]

This really helped me, thank you

[@Helios.vfx.]

Damn that was so darn great! I need to watch it slowly cause I'm new to Davinci

[@bananaman5672]

this is amazing

[@rjwarzone]

Insane vid 🔥

[@relaxmusic77]

Thank you for your videos ! That helps a lot !!

[@ramyissa20]

Just wow!

[@Frigus3D-Art]

For the dirt mask: wouldn't it be enough to use the input image also as mask, blur it and in the merge node settings change the mask from alpha to luma and play with the mask slider? Sounds a bit performance heavy to me to use the luma keyer for this kind of masking.

[@cinematiccookie]

yeah, this would also work as well. Using the Luma keyer gives you the ability to preview what the mask exactly looks like tho.

[@user-ud9co2ju8g]

I think I am switching to DaVinci and drop Premiere tomorrow lol

[@StephenTeaches3D]

Is there a LUT pack that could convert exr to the newer agx look in davinci?

[@cinematiccookie]

Yes. Watch the newer video on the agx workflow on my chanel

[@ShoryYTP]

The Rec.709 LUT on your gumroad is wrong. It looks different than if i just use the OCIO Colorspace effect with the blender config

[@artofvibration]

thanks!!!

[@AlexisRivera3D]

When I try to render the whole sequence as video, it renders as individual images, why?

[@AlexisRivera3D]

I figured it out, on Media tab, you need to change the Frame Display Mode to Sequence

[@VisualistAyush07]

In your opinion which one is better After Effect and davinic resolve By the way this tutorial is so good please make more

[@rano12321]

Fusion

[@Helios.vfx.]

Does that LUT works as a ACES Color profile?

[@cinematiccookie]

No, this LUT only converts EXR to Rec 709.

[@denko6729]

do you have a detailed video on making this scene? I am ready to buy . give me a link

[@cinematiccookie]

Not yet. But I made a video on how I created the Character: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWbKhZSbhc57msU&ab_channel=CinematicCookie

[@denko6729]

do you have more detailed videos on patreon or the same as in youtube?

[@VfxKopele]

Fusion or After Effects for Compositing????? (ik about Nuke but so far I can't afford it)

[@cinematiccookie]

I like to use Fusion since there is a free version and it is integrated into Resolve. It also allows to deal with color management and EXR renders properly and it makes it easier to deal with large VFX shots. However, this is just my preference. And AE has its own benefits.

[@VfxKopele]

@@cinematiccookie Can’t you actually do color management with OCIO CST or in Fusion it’s better?

[@faheemrana1281]

it was too fast for me, I had to pause it for millions of time to understand. I am a poor beginner

[@VisualistAyush07]

In your opinion which one is better After Effect and davinic resolve By the way this tutorial is so good please make more

[@cinematiccookie]

AE is easier to use and get into. Fusion and Resolve is better for large vfx shots because of its node systems, making it easier to manage large projects. And Resolve is basically free. But there are a lot more Tutorials and Resources and tools for after-effects. What I also like about Resolve is how it can work with color spaces and color grading.
